Recent art banner commission I did for Tofucookie88 on Twitch!

This was a huge art commission that took around 4 - 5 days to complete. Probably the most time I've ever spent on a commission so far.

That cancelled TV show you'll never stop thinking about.

I'm probably the only one, but I really loved Loonatics Unleashed both back when I was watching it as a kid and now. Was the show perfect? Of course not, but I thought the concept was really fun.

If you see this, QTP with a title screen that's iconic to you!

Too much nostalgia for Gex. I wanna reanimate this title screen someday!

Did a little birthday present for my awesome friend @hapbajl.bsky.social since it was his birthday a while ago! I drew his cat persona as a slug cat from the video game Rain World since he's a huge fan of that game right now. Hope you had an awesome birthday Dims!

I'm gonna say it rn guys, this character from the new Kirby Air Riders Trailer is either gonna be a lost relative to King Dedede or it's gonna be like a Meta Dedede. The crown, mouth area, and his gloves are throwing me off to that conclusion.

I forgot how fun traditional mixed media art can be.

I recently acquired a Billy Ze Kick promo postcard from around 1994. Since I can't find high quality images of this postcard, I decided to scan and archive it myself!

Item: Billy Ze Kick promo postcard
Date: 1994
Scan Info: Scanned in 1200 DPI

#BillyZeKick #Postcard #Frenchmusic #merch #musicsky
Front of the postcard featuring a character (Likely l'Encraoudeur) from the first Billy Ze Kick et les Gamins en folie album. Front also features music companies associated with Billy Ze Kick at the time. Back of the postcard featuring all the Billy Ze Kick albums and CD singles you could buy at the time. Close up of the front of the postcard showing off the Ben Day process dots. Close up of the back showing off the listing of the 2nd version of the first Billy Ze Kick album.

I've been waiting so long for Fortnite to drop the Clyde skin and a few hours ago the LEGO Fortnite account on Twitter said he was in the shop today but he wasn't. Like bro how hard is it to release a regular skin like this? I just want my wild west Rocket Raccoon skin man. 😭

First time Ita-Bag owner! A friend of mine got me into this hobby since they know I like collecting merch and showing them off on my battlevests. I sewed on ribbon loops on the insert to help showcase my charms easier! Had a lot of fun with this!

I got to go to the recent Sabrina Carpenter concert in Fortnite! I even got my photo taken with her! I'm gonna wait a couple of days to go again because the servers are all so laggy since this is a brand new event.

I noticed that I didn't have merch of some of my favourite bands and animated media. So I decided to make some for myself! These buttons were drawn on 3cm diameter paper, inked with Ohuhu Fineliners, and coloured using Ohuhu Alcohol Markers!

UNBOXING: BILLY SENT ME MANY THINGS AND EVEN SIGNED THEM FOR ME! She sent me:

~ Her book (Signed)
~ Vinyl of the first BZK album (Signed)
~ A USB containing rare media (Not pictured)
~ A bonus CD album (Not pictured)
~ And a letter about the gift CD Album!

Sent her a thank you email yesterday! 💙
English Translation of the letter: "Hi Monika. Here's the little package! I've put in the album "Artemis Revelation" as a gift. I wrote it sort of as a boost of feminine energy. I hope you like it. Hope this reaches you safely. Nat/BZK" 🍄 The book (Left) and the letter (Right). Inside of the book where Billy signed! English translation: "For Monika With love Billy Ze Kick" Front and back of the vinyl! English translation of the signature: "For you Monika Happy Śmigus-dyngus" Context: Śmigus-dyngus is a Polish Easter Monday holiday that I celebrate with my family and friends. It's a fun holiday where you have water gun fights and spray people with water as well as tickle your loved ones with pussy-willows. I mentioned this holiday to Billy after she left me a message about hoping the weather is great where I live in Canada since it's great where she lives at the moment. I replied back with how I was hoping the weather would get warmer and better just in time for Śmigus-dyngus. 💙

I've noticed that I've never done one of those "Meet The Artist" type of art posts. So with the new starter pack trend going around and me wanting to add new stuff to my portfolio, here you guys go!

An action figure concept with my personal persona called "Zapx". Sections listed here include Sewing, Gaming, Music, and Art. Sewing: I love collecting patches and sewing to create my own battlejackets! For this part, I created patches of some of my favourite metal mascots such as Oderus Urungus from GWAR, Sarsippius from Infectious Grooves, and Ziltoid the Omniscient from the mind of Devin Townsend! Gaming: I have a lot of consoles, but my all time favourite is the Nintendo GameCube! I grew up with a silver GameCube and I still have it to this very day despite the fact that it needs repairs. Music: I listen to a wide variety of stuff. So I highlighted some of my favourite genres of music here which are Synthpop, Heavy Metal, Eurodance, and French Music! I also own a CD Walkman and a boombox that can play cassettes! Art: I use an XP-Pen tablet for when I create digital art. For traditional art, I use a variety of stuff, but I highlighted my Ohuhu markers since I've been having a lot of fun with drawing with them lately!
